For Auditor General, LEVI G. McCAULEV. COUNTY TICKET. For Poor Director MANASSES SHOEMAKER. For Jury Commissioner-ErilRAIM COLEMAN. Axd the "fake" leaders were "faked." It was a killicg frost that struck the "fakirs." Tit ere is no rood reason why the Republican majority in Somerset coun ty should uot reach 3,500 this year. The four adjacent states of Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska claim to have raised &10,000,l0 bushels of corn this year. Neal Dow, the most distinguished and successful leader of the temperance movement, has passed away at the ad vanced age of S3. It ixics as though General Co Troth had said "thumbs down," and the "fak irs" had at once turned their nomina tion papers down. Dr. Hunter, tried for bribery of members of the Kentucky legislature daring the recent cotitest for U. S. Sen ator, has been declared not guilty. Members of the Republican County Committee should exert themselves to make the Republican majority in the county a marker, for an "off" year. This year's corn crop is estimated at 1,7.10,000,000 bushels. While not the largest on record, it will serve to disjel the fear of famine in a number of for eign countries. The attorney who staked his "pro feional reputation" upon Judge Bark er's sustaining the certificate of nomin ation filed by the "fakirs" can't place a very hig'a value on it. When a Popocrat on the stump turns his gaze on the streams of gold coming to the United States Trora all points of the compass, he omits the former howl for "financial emancipation." I)kti)R Edw. Bedloe, of Philadel phia, has been appointed consul to Can ton, China. He held a consular posi tion under the Hayes and Harrison ad ministrations, which' he filled with credit. Commercial reports these days are fall of encouragement. They indicate that the good times of 1892 are rapidly approaching, just as the Republicans said they would in the campaign of last year. The dull thud in the direction of the court bouse last Wednesday, about 10 a. ru., was caused by the "fake" prima ry leaders taking a fall out of them selves after reading the Herald con taining Judge Barker's decision. If some one will advisfc the officers of the "fake" Republican rounty organ ization how they can appoint them' selves officers cf the regular organiza tion, he will be conferring a favor on those sorely perplexed gentlemen. Maw of the voters who were mis led into voting at the "fake" primary are beginning to realize the truth of President Lincoln's remark: "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." If his organ is to be believed, the leader of the "fakirs," Modern Moses Kooser, is now organizing a pilgrimage to found a political land of promise, next spring, alout primary election time. Those who follow him will wan- dr a great deal longer than forty years liefore he steers them against the milk and honey of this life. JrsT how many vote W. R. Thomp son, the Independent candidate for Slate Treasurer, will receive in this county will depend largely on the num ber of voters that will again permit themselves to be duped by the leaders of the late "fake" primary. As a burnt child dreads the fire, it is not likely that the Tliompson vote will cut any considerable figure. It would le interesting to know whom F. J. Kooser aud his "fake" County Chairman will support at the coming election. Lst fall they did all in their power to elect a Free Silverite to congress, and this spring they hoped to secure control of the Republican county organization by holding a 'fake' primary. It ia reliably reported that they have secured enough signa'-ures to place their " fake ' candidate on the official ballot by nomination Deners. tut will they do it? Ad If so, under wnat name? That LMngley bill is eettini in its w.rk. It prohibits European .tourJfaUl irom bringing in trunks full of cloth ing and other personal pbssessions free of duty, and consequently prevents the same tourists from buying their clothing abroad. To retrain tmrt of of their looses the fashionable furnishers of London and Paris are conniJerinr d! ans for opening branch establishments in this country. If they do this they w nil ue subject to the same conditions as s the resident dealers, and all will be equal, lal, be ana tue government will no longer aepnved of the revenue to which i it is eutitled. While it is not definitely known at the time of our going to press, Tuesday evening, it is irener&IIv I A !vwt t, the "fakirs" have completely backed uowo irom tnelr position and will not tile their nomination papers to which they had gone to to much trouble and- ' ia or Ui obtain signatures. This. Tum day, is the last day for filing nomina tion papers, and, as the day does not end until twelve o'clock to-night, it is yet possible that they may reconsider, return to their origiaal intention, and file them, in which event the names of their candidates, Messrs. Mil!er and Shaffer, will le placed ou the ticket In a separate column, and under some name other than Republican. It mat ters but little whether they file their papers or not, as their ticket, with all the aid their Democratic allies can give them, will not receive sufficient votes to materially impair the Republican majority. Their being on the ticket would only incite the friends of Shoe maker and Coleman, the regular Re IHiblican nominees, to more vigorous efforts to get out the vote, and tlie ma jority for the regular ticket would be increased rather than diminished. But, if they do not file their nomination pa pers, of what use was their "fake" pri mary, their "fake" county organiza tion, their "fake" convention? And why did they get up nomination paj rs if they did uot intend to use them? Was it because they were so accustom ed to "faking" their friends that they could not resist the temptation of once more "faking" them by having them sign "fake" nomination papers? Get out the vote, Republicans. Do not let the fact that this is what ia usu ally termed an "off" year keep you from going to the polls and urging your friends and neighbors to do the same. All Republicans should vote ! There is every reason wny tney should go to the polls. We have a good ticket, both state and county. We have entered upon an era of pros perity. Republican principles have been vindicated. McKinley is in the White House, and a protective meas ure Is on the statute books. There is no better way of showing your appreciation of the changed con dition of affairs than by going to the polls and recording your vote for the Republican ticket. Get out the vote, Republicans ! Bryan's intimation that wheat next year will be down to the price which prevailed a few months ago is, of course, based on the assumption that crop fail ures, such as that of 1SSI7 in Europe, seldom occur two years in succession. That failure, however, is only one of the causes of the wheat advance. The business improvement, which increases the consumption of wheat in this coun try, would have sent the price up even if an average crop had been harvested in Europe, though the advance would uot have been as great as it is now. There is a very strong probability tliat the business revival will last many years. Consequently, a large wneat crop in the outside world in 1S9S can not send the price of wheat in this c wintry down to the low line around which it has oscillated during the greater jiart of the past four years. The campaigns of the various states are yet in a preliminary condition. Things are quiet in Maryland, where a United States Senatorship is involved, and the only point of real activity is Ohio, where a few meetings have al ready been held. There seems to be no doubt as to a Republican victory in that state of a sweeping nature. Nev ertheless, the Democrats are going to make a very strong effort to capture the legislature and elect a successor to Senator Hanna. John R. McLean, of the' Cincinnati Enquirer, who was a candidate for Vice President before the National convention at Chicago, has all along been suspected of a desire to become the senatorial candidate of his party, but in an interview a day or two ago he took himself out of the field, and General A. J. Warner, one of the best-known apostles of unlimited free coinage, has announced himself. - The Capitol Building Commission will not select a plan for the new Capi tol, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, un til the courts of Dauphin and Lancas ter have finally disposed of the injunc tion suits which are pending. Both cases have been argued, and early opin ions are looked for. Nobody can guess what, view of the matter the courts will take, but the members of the Commis sion believe that the course of the ma jority in turning down the report of the experts will be approved. They say that it was a matter of discretion with the Commission, and the architects have no right to come into court and question the course of the Commission, under the circumstances, especially as all the architects who submitted plans exceeded the cost of the proposed State House as estimated by the Legislature when it made an appropriation of $."10, 000. An inspection of the plans now in hand has been made by the Com missioners, and it is expected that a design will be selected within a few days after the courts have disposed of the cases. Then we have the promise of the Commissioners that building op erations will be commenced without delay. The Republican candidate for Judge over in Fayette county will have a walk-over at the Novemler election. The two Democratic factions in Fay ette had a hot fight over who should be the Democratic candidate, and the members of the younger faction won out, nominating David M. Hertzog and defeating William H. Playford, one of the oldest Democrats in the county. The young men were natur ally very much elated and crowed a great deal over their victory. In their joy at having been victorious at the nominating convention and while re joicing over their triumph, they neg lected the weightier matters of the law and forgot the very important matter of filiog his, Hertzog's certificate of nomination in the State Department, and never awakened to the situation until it was too late even to place their candidate on the ticket by nomination papers. This leaves a clear field to the Republican candidate and his election is assured. It is a sad thing for the Democrats, but they have themselves to blame. If they had not stopped so long to crow and had had efficient men at the head of their organization they would have a candidate for Judge on the ballot. It was just such a stupid trick as the Somerset "fakirs" would have been guilty of, and then they would have maintained that if the law sai I certificates of nomination should be filed forty -five days before the elec tion, it really meant fourteen days, or some other equally foolish position. "Old Fiat" must have its "fakirs" as well as Somerset. BoDogbae'i LiceoM Valid. PirnBi-Rrt, Pa, Oct 1L A petition for n appeal from the Superior Court de cree revere: the lower Court in refusing Jeremiah G. lonoghue a liquor license at Philadelphia was refused by .the Supreme Court here, and the petition dismbwed. The case is an interesting one. Iono ghue was granted a license one year by filing a stipulation with the Court, in which he pledged himself in considera tion of a lioense being granted him not to apply again, and the lower Court held him to his pledge. The Superior Court held that the lower Court in the first place bad no right to make such terms with applicant. By its action the Supreme Court upholds the Superior, and settles knotty problem in Lioense Court matters. Th. Deadly FanlM.

New York, Oct. 1L The withdrawal of Van Wyck as Tammany's candidate for mayor, is very probable. Nathan Straus and Richard Croker went to Great Harrington, Masa., yesterday, where they met Judge William J. Gaynor, of Brook lyn, and CoL William A. Brown, pub lisher of the Daily Nem-a, Out of this conference, it was declared last night, will come a readjustment of the Demo cratic city ticket, wittr Judge Gaynor'a name in the place of Robert A. Van Wyek's. The tiger bears a smile of confidence and a bale of bank notea. The latter are being stacked on Van Wyck. Odds of fered are 10 to 7, Van Wyck against the field. There are few takers. David Gideon says he will saunter into the Hoff man house every night this week with f 100,0)10 to bet against fSO,000, in bulk or in small lota, on Van Wyck. Betting on the other candidates is 3 to 1 against Tracy, 4 to 1 against Low, and 8 to 1 against George. Tammany has contributed- a pictur esque feature to the campaign. It is the nomination of a McKinley Democrat for president of the municipal council. Ran dolph Guggenbeiiner was chosen. In the summer of IS! he said, over his own sig nature, that he proposed to vote for Mc Kinley. Guggenheimer is wealthy, a lawyer, promoter and counsel for the Brewers' association. lie succeeds on the ticket CoL Kuppert, who was pulled down at the request of rival brewers, aud because of the fear that organized work men would oppose him. In case of the mayor's death, the president of the coun cil succeeds to the ollice. Prospects of Republican success grow brighter every day. Not even the most anient supporter of (ten. Benjamin F. T rarer is confident that his candidate will be the mayor of the greater city of New York after January, Imt every move on the political chess-board during the past week has favored his chances. The Neth Low boom has ppeut its force. The citir.HiiH' union movement in his behalf was worked tip during the summer by artificial and theatrical means. It never reached the popular heart. On the other band, the course of events ha been such as to split up the normal Democratic majority. Henry Georges campaign has developed unexpected strength. All the forces or Anarchy, which last year ranged themselves under Tammany's banner, have broken through the iron bars of that organization, and even those who have remained faithful to the leadership of Mr. I'roker are split by internal disputes. Tammany was never worse disorganized than now. Only the fear of Croker's vengeance holds its chieftains together. Things in the George camp are a long way from perfect harmony. Mr. George's uniou ticket has been completed, under the direction of Tom Johnson, in a way that has brought howls of anger from the majority of those who had anything to do with securing bis nomination. Brave Kaa Rewarded. HaBRism-Rii, OcL, 7. Ferdinand F. Kohm, of this city, one of the Capitol Park policemen, this morning received a letter from the Secretary of War, notify ing him that he had been awarded a medal of honor for bravery on the field of battle. Mr. Robin was the chief bugler in the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and at the battle of Reams Station, while his regiment was moving swiftly over the field of battle, he saw a wounded officer lying in an exposed position. He dismounted at once and calling a couple of companions succeeded, in the faceof heavy firing from the enemy, in getting the wounded officer to a safe place. That officer was James A. Beaver, then Colonel of the 14Sth Pennsylvania Infantry, later a brigadier general, then Governor of Pennsylvania, and at present a Judge of the Superior Court. One of Governor Beaver's first acts when he took office here was to make Rohm a member of the Park polii-e force. . Pure blood is the secret of health. Bur dock Mood Bitters insures pure blood. The Long Dronta ia the Wet Broken at Last. Chicago, Oct. 11. Kain to-day was general over the whole territory east of the Kooky mountains and in the Missis sippi and Ohio valleys and the lake re gion. There is a promise of continued downfall for the next 21 hours. All over this vast expanse of country this is the first important rain that has fallen for from six weeks to two months. It breaks one of the most long-continued and dis astrous drought on record. Crops have sttflered, fruit has been blasted and prai rie and forest fires have done great darn xe. Conservative estimates pla-e the reduction in acreage of wiuter wheat at per cent. Thousands of acres through out the atlected district have not even been ploughed, the ground being in such a condition as to render farm work next to impossible. To stock raisers the rain is a godsend, as pastures which have been dried up for weeks will be available once more. The rain was particularly valuable in Texas, where the drought had lastrd si uce early in August. It had damaged the corn crop, lessened the cotton crop 750,000 bales and greatly retarded prepa rations for fall planting. Preparations for seeding a big area of wheat will now begin. Bomaaee ia Keal Life. Homestead, Oct. 8. Miss Klizabeth Neal, daughter of Mrs. Mary Neal, of Homestead, was married last evening to Dr. George Henderson, of the East End, Pittsburg. The ceremony was performed by Kev. B. B. Wolfe, of the Munhall M. E. church. Three years ago the groom had a good practice in the East End and was well and favorably known in that part of the city. One day while out hunting he lost his sight by the explosion of a gun. He had beeu attentive to Miss Neal previous to the accident, and they were engaged at the time. The young lady remained true to her lover after he became helpless. The young man went to live at the home of the Neals, and the two young people became constant companions and could be seen on the streets daily. The groom is well-to-do financially and the bride is a handsome girl with a host of friends. They will continue to reside with the bride's parents. Shot by Kowdies. Policeman Bishop, of Connellsville, was fatally shot Monday on Peach street. A crowd of colored men were causing trouble on the street and the officer start, ed toward them. Four shots were fired, all taking effect in Bishop's abdomen, any one of which' would have caused death. The crowd at once dispersed and fled. They are unknown. Bishop was taken to the Cottage hospital. lie has a wife aud family. Oaly a Claim. Washington, October 10. The treas ury department ha received many in quiries from time to time about the al leged estate of one Joseph Ball, of Phila delphia, which is supposed to be held in trust in the treasury department. The lette speak of this trust as an alleged H4 years' lease given by Mr. Ball of cer tain valuable property in Philadelphia. Some time ago it was stated that ex- President Ilarriaon was iuterested as an attorney in the extate. Many hundred of people all over the country have been drawn into the strug gle for the money which they erroneous ly Imagine lies in the treasury awaiting distribution. To all of these inquiries replies are sent informing the "heirs" thai there Is no such fund and that the only record in the treasury department of Joseph Ball, of Philadelphia, relates to a claim of about fT, 000, -which ha filed as underwriter against the- government in 1801 for cargoes seized -by the French. The claim ia one of the ordinary French spoliation claims. Pearl Fiada ia Georgia. Calhoun, Ga , Oct. 10. The pearl ex citement which leveloped in Arkansas has appeared in upper Georgia. Jack Ben nit, a farmer on the Oostanaula River, read an account of the discovery of pearls in the rivers and lakes of Ar kansas. The following morning, with his little son, he went down to John's Creek, a tributary of the Oostanaula, and gathered pearls for which he received f 180 from Baltimore, Md. This put the neighborhood in a fever of excitement, the result being that entire families are camping on the river and creek. Charles Sims, a little son of 'Squire S. J. Sims, found a pearl, for which be re ceived fW. All the streams in this vicin ity abound in pearl-bearing mussCls, and fur many years children have collected the gems and used them as luck balls and marbles. He Get Hie Mortgage. Wichita, Kas, Oct. 1L Frederick Brown, a farmer, went to the Farmers aud Merchants National bank at El Dorado to-day aud told the cashier he wanted to pay off a $1,310 mortgage which drew 9 per cent, and was not duo until February. Tho bank cannot loan money at 9 per cent, now and the cashier refused the payment. Meantime Brown had de posited Sl.jiXl in gold on the counter. "We can't accept payment before this mortgage is due," said the cashier as he pushed the mouey back. Brown had brought along a revolver for fear of being held up on the road, and he pointed the weapon at the cashier and said, "Give me that mortgage." He took the money while Brown started home with his paper. Whip of Thorns. Klivoon, W. Va., Oct. II. Oliver Stonebraker. a white man. beat his young wife in a must brutal manner last night and she may not recover! He cut a bunch of whips from a thorn bush aud wore thetn out on tho back of the help less woman, lacerating the llesh in a n.o horrible manner. The long, shafp thorns broke off, and her back is full of them. He also kicked her into insensi bility. A warrant has been issued for him, but he has not leen found. The community is greatly incensed over the affair. Injunction! Too Frequent. Dkxvkr, Oct. 11. Judge Wilson, of the Court of Appeals, with Judges Thomp son end Bisell concurring.. handed down an opiujon to-day in which-he makes a vigorous attack on excessive use of in junctions, "We cannot approve a practice," said Judge Wilson, "nor subscribe to a doc trine which permits the exercise by the courts of the extraordinary power of in junctive reiiel for every wrong or in fringement upon the rights of another, Such a course of procedure, if carried to its ultimate natural conclusion, would tend to entirely subvert the principles upon which our system of laws ' is founded." A Fortune la a Buitle. Bostox, Mass., Oct 1L In the Suffolk County Prolate Court to-day a hearing was had on a petition for a partial distri bntion of the estate left by Alraira M. Perham. The fact that Mrs. Perham left any estate whatever was a surprise to those who knew the woman. It was common talk that the woman was likely to be found dead some day from starva tion. A search of her rooms revealed L!,000 in bank bills in an old bustle, while in a dilapidated trunk were bonds and other securities which bring the val ue of her estate up to (til.Ouo. ;.
